[Talk-GB] UK Food Banks

[Jez Nicholson]

Hi Jason,

Welcome, and I hope that we can get something going.


To start the ball rolling...

Question #1: how clean and accurate is your location data? Did you plot the
points via a Google or Ordnance Survey map? Would you call them fully Open
Data?

Regards,
               Jez
